A computer algorithm for the solution of the inverse problem of fuzzy systems (Q804536)

The paper presents a computer algorithm for the solution of the so-called ``inverse problem''. Given a fuzzy relation \(R\subset U\times V\) and a fuzzy subset \(B\subset V\), this algorithm produces the solution semilattice formed by the fuzzy subsets \(A\subset U\) satisfying the fuzzy relational equation \(A\circ R=B\), where \(\circ\) denotes maxmin composition. The program, while written in ZBasic, runs also in less powerful versions of Basic. Some examples are included to show the output format. Perhaps a portable FORTRAN or Pascal version would be more performant and more profitable. The algorithm is applicable to the optimization and control problems of fuzzy systems for which the maxmin rule of composition is acceptable as an inference mechanism.
